Just bought and fitted a new stock to my Raider, and after much swearing and bashing with blunt objects fitted it (to realise its actually stupidly simple) and then clock on (the night before a skirmish) there is not space for the battery DOH...

So yeah schoolboy error....

I would like to use this stock as it looks much nicer than the original one which came with the gun but obviously have a battery issue. Ideally I would like to rewire the gun so the battery is near the front and then switch to a lipo and use a battery box mounted on the rail.

My question is.....

Is this something I could do? I am not completely stupid but have never opened the gun up before, and probably dont have the correct tools if I need to adjust the wiring... Or should I ask a shop for a quote? or is this going to be a waste of time/money?

Thanks again...

 
this MIGHT fit but YOU need to check and do your homework a bit

coz some stock tubes have thicker/thinner walls

(sounds crap but cheaper makes can have less metal used and so can fit a slightly thicker battery in tube)

You - need to check/measure it all out but THINK this size fits in a FireHawk VS02 stock tube

please ffs double / triple check all dimensions - no point getting a battery that you can't fit

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
^^^^^ what he said.

Also bear in mind the whole "square peg round hole" issue. If you have a tube with a 10mm ID a battery that is 10mm wide WON'T FIT.

 
Great thanks for your replies, as always you guys are a font of knowledge..

I shall find some calipers and have a check :)

*now where are the calipers*???
